Method | |||||||||
Make up pastry; put in tart shells. No need to blind bake. Brown the mince in the bacon fat (cooking lard), until well cooked. While the beef is cooking, crush the pine nuts in a mortar; the pine nuts are very oily and it will make a 'paste' just by crushing. When the beef is done cooking, transfer it to a mixing bowl, add the pine nuts, currants. Chop the cheese into chunks or break it up and add it to the beef. Get your hands in there and squish it to mix it thoroughly. Sprinkle a tiny bit of sugar through it - the dish should not be really sweet, but have a nice balance. Check the filling, but omit the salt as the cheese is salty enough. |
